In depth
Verdict
Hoof It Harry is the pick with Kristoffersen and Silver Serg the alternatives. Paul Henderson's charge has struggled with muscle problems throughout his career but he appreciates fast ground and on the evidence of his rout at Plumpton, there could be more to come. Kristoffersen is fairly exposed. This represents something of a drop in trip for the old stager but he isn't short of pace. Silver Serg has shown no form of late. A perusal at some of his earlier work suggests that he can act on the going if in the mood to do so. Marigolds Way was thought of as a soft ground performer but that didn't stop her obliging at Newton Abbot on a fast surface. Trigger Guard had an off-day at the office last month so is one to note in the market. Lupita has successfully kept counsel on the flat of late. Mistified has struggled off similar marks in the past. Spider Boy is enjoying something of an indian summer in his career but he will need to work hard to land the three-timer. A typical summer hurdle and Hoof It Harry can make use of a helpful handicap mark today.
